**Breakfast Cereals past and present, discontinued or still around**

1. Wheat Stax _(One of my childhood faves, so sad when General Mills took them off the market)_ 
2. Nabisco Shredded Wheat _(the full-sized biscuits you tore apart or broke up with your spoon, not the modern sugar-frosted bite-sized version)_ 
3. Old Country Style Muesli, by Bob’s Red Mill _(It’s available [here](https://www.bobsredmill.com/shop/cereals/old-country-style-muesli.html). I first had it in June 2002 on my honeymoon in Whistler BC CAN, at our hotel. Great stuff! I’ve since seen it at some grocery stores but I usually get it online.)_ 
4. Wheaties _(My fav since 1944 or so)_ 
5. Quisp _(My absolute favorite as a kid of the 60s. Everything about it screams nostalgia to me)_ 
6. Rice Krispies _Snap, Crackle and Pop_
7. Cheerios _and all its varieties_ 
8. Captain Crunch with Crunchberries _I know I shouldn’t, but I love 'em and always have!_

Things (or experiences or foods) you loved in your youth. They may still be around, and they may not. And please don’t bold this category title. Thanks in advance!

1. Going to the corner store with 30 cents, and getting five gumballs, two packs of baseball cards, a comic book, and getting change back.
2. Flying. I remember looking down at the clouds over the Pacific on my second plane flight, age 5.
